i'd say in this business, the internet is an awful place to look for a steady job. plus, as far as i'm concerned, the only way to land that kind of gig nowadays is to open your own shop, or absolutely stun the owner or manager of a facility with your past work. plus, there's a huge trust factor involved....and not just with equipment safety. the studio higher ups have to be relatively positive that you'll maintain the good name of their business.

if you wanna work at "StudioX"...contact the studio and book a band that wants to work with you! they'd be more than happy to fill empty dates with freelancers. you might even get a free assistant out of the deal.

Great idea! I was thinking the same lately and am happy someone posted about it.
It could serve as a community support forum too, temporary file upload/download,
exchange of services, online hirer/hiree database, etc.
I suggest it be in the registered members area.

I definitely agree with a lot of your advice. If anyone expected to simply PM a guy and get a full time gig at a studio they'd be a little more than naive. But even having a place where a studio could announce "hey, we're looking for interns" would be extraordinarily helpful for a lot of people.

Well then, let me be the first to say "We're looking for interns over at the Burst Collective in Milwaukee, WI."
